Når du køber en ny macOS-computer eller omformaterer en eksisterende, er den mest kedelige opgave, du skal udføre, at installere alle dine softwareapps fra^(apps) bunden. For det første^(First) skal du huske hver enkelt, og for det andet, at besøge hver apps hjemmeside, downloade appen og installere den tager evigheder^{(takes forever)} .

Men hvad nu hvis du havde et downloadscript, der automatisk ville downloade og installere hver enkelt for dig? Det eneste, du skal gøre, er at køre manuskriptet og derefter gå ud og lave en kop kaffe, mens manuskriptet gjorde sit arbejde. Det kan du gøre ved at bruge HomeBrew og HomeBrew Cask .

Hvad er HomeBrew?^{(What Is HomeBrew?)}

HomeBrew er et program, der kan installeres på din macOS-computer, som downloader og installerer apps for dig, uden at du behøver at besøge appens hjemmeside først. Alt^(All) du behøver er terminalvinduet^(Terminal) , Homebrew -kommandoen og navnet på den app, du vil downloade.

Ikke alle softwareapps understøttes af HomeBrew . Jeg vil om et øjeblik vise dig, hvordan du finder ud af, hvilke der ER^(ARE) understøttet. Men generelt er alle de store navne understøttet.

Installation af HomeBrew^{(Installing HomeBrew)}

Før vi kan lave vores bulk MacOS app-installationsprogram, skal vi installere HomeBrew og HomeBrew Cask . Cask er et program, der giver dig mulighed for at downloade programmer på én gang. Begge er nødvendige for, at macOS-app-installationsprogrammet fungerer korrekt.

For at installere HomeBrew skal du åbne et terminalvindue^(Terminal) og skrive:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

For derefter at installere HomeBrew Cask , skriv følgende to kommandoer individuelt.

brew tap caskroom/cask

brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

Det er det. Du har nu HomeBrew installeret.

For at installere et program med HomeBrew er det en simpel Terminal - kommando af

brew cask install “app name”

Selvfølgelig vil du erstatte "appnavn" med navnet på den app, du ønsker.

For at afinstallere skal du skrive:

brew cask uninstall “app name”

Se hvilke programmer der understøttes af HomeBrew^{(Seeing What Programs Are Supported By HomeBrew)}

Før vi går videre til at lave bulk app-installationsprogrammet, skal du se, hvilke programmer HomeBrew understøtter. Medmindre du kører et gammelt vagt program, som ingen nogensinde havde hørt om, er det sandsynligt, at HomeBrew^(HomeBrew) vil understøtte det.

Men du skal se, hvad programmet præcist hedder af HomeBrew , så du får kommandoen rigtigt. Ellers vil dit bulk-app-installationsprogram ikke fungere særlig godt.

Så i Terminal, skriv nu:

brew search “name of app”

Så hvis du søgte for at se, om Google Chrome var understøttet, kunne du skrive

brew search chrome

Og terminalen^(Terminal) vil nu give dig alle de HomeBrew- pakker, der har at gøre med Chrome .

Som du kan se, er Chrome opført på HomeBrew som google-chrome . Så det er derfor, du skal have den nøjagtige terminologi rigtigt i dit app-installationsprogram.

Opbygning af din app-installatør^{(Building Your App Installer)}

Når du har en liste over alle de apps, du ønsker i dit installationsprogram (med de HomeBrew-formaterede^{(HomeBrew-formatted)} navne), er det tid til at begynde at skrive scriptet.

Åbn en macOS-teksteditor (såsom standard TextEdit ), og skriv øverst:

#!/bin/sh

På den næste linje^{(the next line)} skal du begynde at skrive HomeBrew Cask- kommandoerne for hvert program, adskilt af <br> . Så sådan:

<br>brew cask install
google-chrome

<br>brew cask install firefox

<br>brew cask install audacity

<br>brew cask install dropbox

Og så videre. Bliv ved, indtil du har alle programmerne opført med HomeBrew-fadkommandoerne^(HomeBrew) vedhæftet.

Når du er færdig, gem filen som:

caskconfig.sh

Pas^(Take) på, at txt ikke er i slutningen af ​​det filnavn.

Gå nu tilbage til Terminal , peg Terminal på placeringen af ​​den fil, du lige har lavet, og skriv i Terminal :

chmod a+x caskconfig.sh

Dette gør filen klar til at blive brugt. Flyt scriptet fra din computer til enten en USB -stick eller skylager. Hvis din computer går ned, gør det at have scriptet på den computer, hele denne øvelse en smule meningsløs!

Brug af scriptet på en ny computer^{(Using The Script On a New Computer)}

På den nye eller omformaterede computer skal du installere HomeBrew og HomeBrew Cask , som vi lige har vist. Flyt derefter caskconfig.sh ind i din Macs hjemmemappe.

Til sidst skal du tænde Terminal og skrive:

./caskconfig.sh

Læn dig nu tilbage og se alle programmerne i scriptet blive downloadet og installeret uden yderligere indsats fra dig!

Det gode ved dette script er, at det blot peger mod programmerne online. Så når du kører scriptet, vil du altid få de mest opdaterede versioner af disse programmer. Ikke en vildt forældet version, der kræver et dusin patches installeret bagefter.

How To Make a Bulk App Installer For a New Mac OS Install using HomeBrew

When buying a new mаcOS computer, or reformatting an existing one, the most tedious task уou need to do is install all of yoυr software apps from scratch. First, you have to remember each one, and secondly, visiting each app’s website, downloading the app, and installing it takes forever.

But what if you had a download script that would automatically download and install each one for you? All you would have to do is run the script, then walk off and make yourself a coffee while the script did its business. You can do that using HomeBrew and HomeBrew Cask.

What Is HomeBrew?

HomeBrew is a program that can be installed on your macOS computer which downloads and installs apps for you, without the need to visit the app’s website first. All you need is the Terminal window, the Homebrew command, and the name of the app you want to download.

Not all software apps are supported by HomeBrew. I will show you in a moment how to find out which ones ARE supported. But in general, all of the big-name ones are supported.

Installing HomeBrew

Before we can make our bulk MacOS app installer, we need to install HomeBrew and HomeBrew Cask. Cask is a program that allows you to download programs all at once. Both are required for the macOS app installer to function properly.

To install HomeBrew, open a Terminal window and type :

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Then to install HomeBrew Cask, type the following two commands individually.

brew tap caskroom/cask

brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

That is it. You now have HomeBrew installed.

To install a program with HomeBrew, it is a simple Terminal command of

brew cask install “app name”

Obviously, you would replace “app name” with the name of the app you want.

To uninstall, you would type :

brew cask uninstall “app name”

Seeing What Programs Are Supported By HomeBrew

Before we move on to making the bulk app installer, you need to see which programs HomeBrew supports. Unless you are running some old vague program that no one had ever heard of, it’s likely HomeBrew will support it.

But you need to see what the program is called exactly by HomeBrew so you get the command right. Otherwise, your bulk app installer is not going to work very well.

So in Terminal, now type :

brew search “name of app”

So if you were searching to see if Google Chrome was supported, you could type

brew search chrome

And the Terminal will now give you all of the HomeBrew packages which are to do with Chrome.

As you can see, Chrome is listed on HomeBrew as google-chrome. So this is why you need to get the exact terminology right in your app installer.

Building Your App Installer

Once you have a list of all the apps you want in your installer (with the HomeBrew-formatted names), it’s time to start writing the script.

Open up a macOS text editor (such as the default TextEdit) and at the top, type :

#!/bin/sh

On the next line, begin typing the HomeBrew Cask commands for each program, separated by <br>. So, like so :

<br>brew cask install
google-chrome

<br>brew cask install firefox

<br>brew cask install audacity

<br>brew cask install dropbox

And so on. Keep going till you have all of the programs listed with the HomeBrew cask commands attached.

When you have finished, save the file as :

caskconfig.sh

Take care that txt is not on the end of that file name.

Now, go back to Terminal, point Terminal at the location of the file you have just made, and in Terminal, type :

chmod a+x caskconfig.sh

This makes the file ready to be used. Move the script off your computer to either a USB stick or cloud storage. If your computer crashes, having the script on that computer makes this whole exercise a bit pointless!

Using The Script On a New Computer

On the new or reformatted computer, install HomeBrew and HomeBrew Cask, as we have just shown. Then move caskconfig.sh into your Mac’s Home Directory.

Finally, fire up Terminal and type :

./caskconfig.sh

Now sit back and watch all of the programs in the script be downloaded and installed, with zero further effort from you!

The nice thing about this script is that it merely points towards the programs online. So when you run the script, you will always get the most up-to-date versions of those programs. Not some wildly out-of-date version that requires a dozen patches installed afterward.
